Spread Option Pricing Under the Vasicek Model

초록/요약

In this thesis, we consider the pricing of stock, bond, and inter- est rate spread options. We will assume that the stock and bond prices follow a log-normal distribution; we also assume that the inter- est rates follow the Vasicek model and, thus, are normally distributed. For stocks and bonds we will approximate using the Kirk formula in order to write it in closed form. The interest rate spread option will be calculated via the Black-Scholes formula for an arithmetic Brow- nian motion (ABM). Finally, we consider interest rate cap and floor valuations as ABMs and European bond options.
